Lithuania is the southernmost Baltic state, where baroque Old Towns, dense pine forests, and a windswept coastline come together in one of Europe's most underrated destinations. Vilnius offers a UNESCO-listed medieval core and a growing creative scene, while the Curonian Spit's towering sand dunes and Kaunas's interwar modernist architecture add depth beyond the capital. Affordable, compact, and well-connected, Lithuania rewards curious travelers year-round.
